This is why I miss games like Unreal Tournament where they had 8 bot difficulty levels. When you were in the mood for a challenge you could turn it up, and when you were in the mood for some easy blowing stuff up you could turn it down. Now everything's skill-based matchmaking and as much as it can manage you're always up against opponents who are equally good to you.

Or playing against people who are way better than you and sandbagged their rating. But you can't have an easy game unless you make a second smurf account and do the same. Which is a dick move because the people on the other end of it didn't sign up to play a much harder opponent.
